Madhouse Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Do any of you have one of these? I've got my Louisiana Grills egg-style smoker, and my Blackstone flat-top, and my 13-year-old Char Grill gas grill has just about given up the ghost. I've rebuilt the internals 3 times already but it's too far gone to bother again, so it's going to the scrap yard. To replace it, I ordered a Recteq, which will be my first foray into the pellet grill world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are considering the "rule," he said that he has already ordered one. He just doesn't have @98Z5V's timing down yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I looked at the recteqs. Have an old coworker with one who really liked it. Looked like a good unit. I went GMG with the last one, and honestly - I liked my old traeger better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pull off an entrapment topic, intentionally, and someone takes the bait, calls you on "The Rule..." Then that sucker should have to buy one, too, and test it, and report back... "The Rule" is serious business... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I’m on it. As soon as I’m done paying off the chicken mansion. Picked up another load of lumber today to carry on with the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Well, I must say, I'm on the outside of whatever inside joke this ruling thing is. I'll report back after I get this beast, fingers crossed I'll be cooking on it next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Damn... That's big enough for a "Granny Pod" right there... 3 hours ago, Madhouse said: Well, I must say, I'm on the outside of whatever inside joke this ruling thing is. This was on Drew, completely. He started The Rule sometime around 2011 or 2012... It's rarely been able to be invoked - but when it CAN be invoked, it's usually expensive... This is it: Here is THE RULE: "If you post, inquiring about a product, be it new or old, and no one responds with a review within 48 hours, you are hereby required to buy said product, and review that product, so that this rule doesn't apply to the next person with the same inquiry. "The Rule" shall not apply to the announcement of new or upcoming products, unless there is some context inquiring as to who will be the first to assume ownership of said product. At that point "The Rule" will once again apply to the poster, who will be obligated to be the first in the stated question. While this shouldn't need to be stated, pictures are required, or that s*** didn't happen." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the reverse sear, @DNP first showed it to me with tri tip. Now I do it with mu steaks when I got the time too I should try it with some thick cut pork chops.

You will have predators using those bushes for concealment as they try to figure how to gain entrance. It usually takes them a while to figure it out so the camera should give you some warning.

shooterrex Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 They make a door controller that slides a door up and down. It is activated by light. Let's them out in the morning and closes them in at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Lol, y'all are nuts. Ok, so, this is a nice piece of equipment. Took me a bit to assemble (legs, folding tray, electronics tray, handles, etc.), maybe 2 hours taking your time. Cleaned the grates, did the 400 degree for 1 hour burn-in process and last night cooked a Boston butt. Coming from my lump charcoal kamado style smoker, this thing is so easy it's like cheating. Set it and forget it, wait for your phone notifications to tell you when it's ready. Nice interior light, 40-lb hopper holds a shit ton of pellets.

DNP Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Hell yeah! The 40lb hopper is a nice feature. Those grills have a lot of neat stuff going on…I’ll be happy to hear how it works out for you over the next few months. Congrats on the purchase…you won’t be unhappy, I’m sure of it.

Madhouse Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Thx. My concern is traditional "grilling", like direct heat cooking on a grill. But I know this will do it well, once I can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
